AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoFilm & Culture: Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster The Odyssey hits cinemas this week, but its release is shadowed by Boycott Calls: Sahrawi filmmakers and activists are urging audiences to boycott after reports that parts were shot in occupied Western Sahara (Dakhla), arguing the production normalizes Morocco’s control and “whitewashes” the occupation. Human Rights & Media: The Sahrawi Working Group on Natural Resources condemned the Dakhla filming, stressing Western Sahara’s non-self-governing status under international law. Global Backlash: Coverage also highlights protests tied to the premiere and renewed debate over ethics in international filmmaking. Tech & Surveillance: Separate reporting adds pressure to the wider Western Sahara narrative, with allegations that Morocco used Pegasus spyware to target journalists and Sahrawis—fueling calls for accountability beyond the screen.
